Islands, Cats and Miracles |
https://naomipenn.wordpress.com/2010/05/23/islands-cats-and-miracles
Islands, Cats and Miracles. May 23, 2010 in life. 9 - Spot the Miracle. En route to Pulau Seribu. Look carefully and you'll see a man walking on water. I can’t remember the exact name of the island – the fact I couldn’t pronounce it didn’t help – but I dubbed it the Isle of Cats, because it was just full of felines! Most of the island cats looked well-fed - probably thanks to fish - this was by far the mangiest. He didn't respond well to my papping. 10 - Blue Lagoon. Berkeley and I were waiting for c...

Worth a Thousand |
https://naomipenn.wordpress.com/2010/05/15/worth-a-thousand-words
May 15, 2010 in career. My Canon Rebel 400 snapped by my Canon Ixus 9515. I am lucky enough to own two nice digital cameras – Canon Ixus 9515 and Canon Rebel 400 – and I have usually had at least one nice camera since my parents gave me my first digital 5 years ago for my first return to Cambodia – but I have always been sporadic when it comes to photography. Which is simply to take at least one photo every day for 365 days. Here are my first seven shots, taken between last Saturday and yesterday:. We ha...

Having Your Cupcake and Eating It |
https://naomipenn.wordpress.com/2010/05/05/having-your-cupcake-and-eating-it
Having Your Cupcake and Eating It. May 5, 2010 in career. Divine Tea Party cupcakes. mmm. Oh golly, just looking at these cupcakes – which are THE BEST I have ever eaten, even trumping the Hummingbird Bakery – makes me want to pack in the newly minted health kick and scarf down a dozen. Do they do delivery? Like in London, I had great friends, independence and constantly evolving love for the city, but not my family, financial security or a job that was a real rung on the career ladder I wanted to be on.

The Grasshopper, the Ant and the Birds. April 26, 2010 in career. Courtesy of magicalmoonshine.org. You’ve heard of the Grasshopper and the Ant, right? I'm 24 and based in Jakarta, but may not be for much longer. I grew up all over the world, but the place that feels most like home is the UK. I like stories, gastrobating, twirling and endless conversations. Buffy the vampire slayer. End of year ball. Singapore writers festival 2009. On Looking Forward to London. Bright, light and ai…. How mean the ant is!

My Own Boss |
https://naomipenn.wordpress.com/2010/05/12/my-own-boss
May 12, 2010 in career. My workspace. I rarely sit at the desk but it being there helps me get stuff done. This week things are looking much clearer. I return to London June 2, in exactly three weeks and a week earlier than I planned as my passport has only one page left, post-visa extension, and I must leave before June 5 – no trip to Phnom Penh either, as I’d hoped. But it feels like it’s all meant to be. T-Lady used to live in that very flat, so I know it will be a lovely place to be. It also helps me...

Looking Forward to London |
https://naomipenn.wordpress.com/2010/05/30/looking-forward
Looking Forward to London. May 30, 2010 in life. Anne and me on one of our many bus quests around London, summer 2007. It hit me at around 4 this morning, when I really wanted to be sleeping off the numerous G&Ts downed at my leaving party: In a matter of days, I will be back in the UK… and back to my old life in London? Well, obviously not. I have no idea what to expect. Will it be hard? Will it be wonderful? Sitting at the front, on the top deck of a double-decker bus. A picnic on the grass. I already ...
